To: alt.magick.tyagi,alt.satanism,alt.magick,alt.pagan.magick,talk.religion.misc,alt.politics.satanism From: nagasivaSubject: Religion and Manifesting the Power of Magic Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2004 06:56:29 GMT 50040303 vii om re the credescence of mysticism amongst the impoverished: maybe religion supplements where societal power wanes: power in "invisible realms" ascends where overt observable power is absent. at this point we might start talking about 'opiates of the masses'. some probably count rebellion as accomplishment, no doubt. perhaps the encapsulation of their ego within their family shell is such an ordeal to escape that they find its break and crawling out a cathartic experience. Q what is it that magicians need to embody in order to manifest the true power of magic? ---------------------------------------------- A magic is the manipulation of the cosmos toward intentional, desired ends using symbolic means, and the magician must embody the mechanism tying the current condition to the desired result in order to manifest the true power of magic. anything else is either a wish granted by a superior being or luck due to being at the right place at the right time. the first is a dependent relation, and not the cause; whilst the second is subject to forces and agents outside the specific call and timing of the mage. y r B o l b n e e w s a o s s d e t e d ! .com@nagasiva
